BLOCK 1 ~ Flower Power 2 Quilt-a-long

Today’s the day! Thanks for joining me for the very first block in our Flower Power 2 Quilt-a-long! Block 1 is the Arum Lily! Join in the free fun and learn to quilt 9 new designs to create a beautiful 9-patch quilt. Download the 9 new Flower Power designs from my website and prepare some fabric squares, black thread and Sharpie. Simple!

"Flower Power 2 Quilt-a-long" videos start TODAY Sunday November 8th, and I will release a new instructional video every second day here on my YouTube channel 'Helen Godden Quilts'.

But this Quilt-a-long is a little different. I am trying a new 'Pay What You Want' approach. This means you can purchase the designs from my website, HelenGodden.com for whatever price you like... from zero to $$ dollars... Perhaps the price of a coffee? A fat quarter? A yard of fabric? It's totally up to you! Here is a link to try my "Pay What You Want" purchase.

Register as a customer on my website and download the designs HERE:

Once you have purchased the pattern from my website, download and print out the designs to a consistent size. In my sample, the designs are 11” square, but you can print them any size you wish.

I demonstrate all the quilting of every block, on my Handi Quilter Sweet Sixteen. You can quilt along with me on your domestic machine or even your long-arm machine.

You could decide to paint each block with Lumiere acrylic fabric paints, or work them with a pieced background and appliqué each flower. You may like to work these designs in embroidery or colour the designs with INKtense Pencils. Maybe you just want to print out the designs and doodle into them with a pen, to practise the quilting patterns I demonstrate.
